Hi, I just bought this for my 18 month old and I was worried about him outgrowing it too soon also and it being too young, but he adores it... but the surprise was...so does his SIX year old brother LOL. Ok, it's not going to hold the six year old's attention for very long, but he got on it and bounced around. The weight of the child pushes the zebra down and allows it to spin (if she were standing next to it w/o pushing down, it would not move round) so by sitting on it my 6 year old spun himself in one full circle just to 'see if he could'. They say the age goes up to about 36 months and the weight capacity is 43 lbs (my 6 year old is 41 lbs, just went to the annual checkup) It has been fun for the little one and is something nice and active for him to do now that the weather has turned cold and we can't go outside. I've spent more money on things we've used for a shorter amount of time and I really like this product :)

I put my 5 month old granddaughter in it and she played with the toys. At 6 months she figured out how to bounce and wow does she love this jumparoo!!!! It's fun to watch her having so much fun.

It most likely will be. I have a neighbor who has a really tall 3 year old and she enjoyed playing with it, but I could tell it was a little low for her. This is a great toy for someone who is 1.5-2 years old. I hope that this helps! :)

Yes, it should bounce when baby moves or you bounce it yourself. I would send yours back for a replacement. Hope this helps!

I just got this for my 2yo and he bounces like crazy! When he's not using the handle bar, it doesn't lift. When he is using it, it tends to lift, but it hasnt' tipped over...... yet.... .LOL

I bought it when my daughter was around 6 months for her to chase, shake and grab. But you can do it for the child till he learns to play with it himself. It definitely works as stimulating incentive.

Hi Nana, We have a 21 month old, 5 year old, and 8 year old grand children who play with this regularly. The 8 year old is over the suggested weight limit, but she still enjoys riding this occasionally, but it is not her favorite toy. The other two ride over and over. In addition to the ride factor, this ramp is a hit with all the children for playing with their trucks and vehicles, balls and such on and while they play they are learning the physics concepts associated with force and motion. The baby loves to walk up the ramp and slide down. He has been playing with it since he was 8 months old and it is still the first play he heads when he enters the house. We have been using it indoors as we have a long living room that allows both room for the ramp and room to shoot off the end. We have a pillow against the wall in case they get that far, but they seldom do. It is easy to set up and to put out of the way when we want the space for adult company without kids. It would be equally fun, under a covered patio for all year play or just outside. This is by far the best toy we have ever purchased. I hope your family enjoys it as much as ours. Tee Jay

Our Granddaughter is 2 and she enjoys playing with this toy. We got it for her when she was a little over 1 and she was always trying to pull it apart even though she did play with it at that age. I believe 2 to 4 is the perfect age for this toy.

I got this for my daughter when she was 3 months old, she's now 5 months old and is very excited when she plays with it and hears the music when she kicks the piano keys. I also put some of her other toys on it as well and she has a really good time. I would imagine it would depend on the baby at how long he or she will play with this mat, it could be 1-2 years Because my baby loves to move around a lot so when she does just want to lay around she absolutely loves to play with this toy and kick the piano keys .

I think it would be great for that age. I bought one for my 5 Year old daughter and she has gotten the hang of it. Also it's pretty fun to play with being an adult too. It's a pretty quick toy. Good Luck!

I think this may be little too advanced for a 3 year old. It is a wonderful toy; very well made and amazing the way it moves and the sounds but I think I would wait until the child is about 6 years old. But I wouldn't hesitate to buy now.

Possibly, but I wouldn't think so. I got it for my daughter a bit before she turned 1, and she still plays with it regularly at almost 2. Even my 4 year old likes it when my daughter gets it out, although he loses interest after a few minutes.

My son is 10 months now and he still loves it! I think it gets played with more now than when he was younger. I don't think it's too young at all.

Yes, My 3 yr old daughter loves it! If they love music and love to dance they will enjoy this. It also has music for their age which is a plus.

My toddler is 21 months and has been using this for about 2 months. There's a lot more he could do with it if he were a little older, so I'm hopeful that he'll continue to play with it for at least another 6-12 months.

I have no idea- I bought this toy for my 12 month-old and she loves it!! At 15 months she is still interested in it but I think she may get bored with it by the time she's 2. Maybe the warning is because of the little hammer?

Absolutely!!!! My daughter is now 5 and loves this toy. Wish I had gotten this for her when she was 2 so she could have enjoyed it more!
